The newly-minted deal to sign Swedish House Mafia comes on the brink of their global reunion tour, beginning in May. According to Variety, a heated bidding war ensued with Universal Music Group’s Republic Records over the tri-star-powered act. In the end, Columbia came out on top—and for “significantly less” money, according to sources.

Swedish House Mafia are set to hit the world’s biggest festivals and stadium-sized arenas this summer. They decided to reunite after their highly-publicized return to the stage at Ultra’s 20th anniversary, which is running up against its one-year mark. The three haven’t appeared on-stage together since, so the hype is becoming very real, to say the least.
